Ensure no young person is left out

No Young Person Left Out

No young person should be left without support when facing homelessness. Join our campaign to ensure there’s No Young Person Left Out.

Campaign with us

Last year, almost 124,000 young people faced homelessness across the UK. But for one in three, the door is shut before help even begins. 

That’s over 37,000 young people in England left out from receiving the homelessness assessment they need – left without safety, stability or support.

Councils are stretched to breaking point, forced to make difficult decisions with the funding they have. But with fewer resources and rising need, young people are paying the price. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. When we speak out together, we can fix this broken system and make sure no young person is left out of the support they deserve.

Every year, thousands of young people are left to face homelessness alone without the support they need. Since last year, youth homelessness has increased by 6% - meaning 1 in every 60 young people face homelessness.  

We need as many people as possible to tell the UK Government that no young person should be left out from the support they deserve. Join us as we call on the UK Government for:  

  • A government review into councils' youth homelessness assessment rates as increasing numbers of young people present as homeless
  • Funding that matches local demand so that all young people receive a homelessness assessment and timely support
